37 DEPARTMENT 407 DOG OBEDIENCE EXHIBITOR ELIGIBILITY RULES: A. Member must be enrolled in the 4-H Dog Project. Dogs entered must have been a part of the project since April 1 st of the current year or earlier to be eligible to go to State Fair. B. All exhibitors must have complied with the county's eligibility rules for State Fair participation. Exhibitors must enter State Fair in the same class in which they qualified at their county level. C. The member must own the project dog individually or in partnership with parent/guardian for the duration of the project. D. Exhibitors showing two dogs will record both dogs in the same record book. Points for the dog champion program will be calculated from the record book, test, designated dog for obedience, and designated dog for showmanship. Dogs will be designated at check-in for the obedience class and showmanship class to be eligible for overall dog champion and reserve champion. E. Sand & Sage Dog Show Superintendents and/or Extension Staff can and will dismiss any entrant or their families from the show for any mistreatment of dogs entered in this show. If a question should arise as to what constitutes "mistreatment," Extension Staff and/or Sand & Sage Fair Board members will meet to decide appropriate action in each case. Any negative behavior on the part of the exhibitor and/or families, leaders directed toward any official will result in disqualification and awards forfeited. F. All entrants will be responsible for cleanup after their dogs. Failure to do so can be a basis for dismissal from the Sand & Sage Fair Dog Show and/or forfeiture of any placing. G. Dog Record books are interview judged during interview judging, so that the score can be added to the All-Around Dog Obedience score. DOG ELIGIBILITY RULES: A. The progression the dog has made determines the obedience class it should be entered in. The member's years in 4-H has no bearing on which class to enter his/her dog EXCEPT SUB-NOVICE A, WHICH IS OPEN ONLY TO FIRST-YEAR DOG PROJECT WORK AND EXCEPT FOR SUB- NOVICE B CLASS WHICH IS SECOND HANDLER WITH SECOND YEAR DOG. SUB-NOVICE C IS FOR EXPERIENCED HANDLER WITH NEW DOG. B. Showmanship Junior Novice, Intermediate Novice, and Senior Novice classes are only open to first year members. C. Proof of approved effective (at time of Sand & Sage Fair) vaccination of the dog for rabies and parvovirus must be provided on entry form. It is also recommended that dogs be vaccinated for Kennel Cough. Dogs showing evidence of communicable disease(s) will not be eligible for show and will be isolated from the other dogs. Page 37

38 D. Dogs in heat will be exhibited at the end of the show for both showmanship and obedience. Superintendent must be alerted prior to the show at check-in. It is strongly recommended to discuss situation with superintendent prior to dog arriving at the fair. DO NOT bring dogs in heat to the show area where other dogs are located until instructed by superintendent. Superintendent will notify exhibitor, with dog in heat, to enter show area for competition. Lack of prior notification to the superintendent at check-in by exhibitor will result in disqualification of dog in heat. Judge and/or superintendent will have discretion to adapt or establish show area and holding area (for dogs in heat) as needed. E. Because of safety reasons, dogs showing aggressiveness will be dismissed from the ring at the discretion of superintendent or judge. Aggressiveness will be noted on score sheet and all accumulated points for that class will be forfeited resulting in a zero for that class. If the dog continues aggressiveness once dismissed, the handler will be asked to kennel the dog or remove the dog from the fair grounds. At that point, the dog will be disqualified. Lack of good sportsmanlike action to deal with the situation will result in disqualification of the exhibitor and the exhibitor will not be allowed to win awards or premiums in the dog program at the Sand & Sage Roundup for that year. F. Dismissed is defined as the dog being removed from a class with no points awarded for that class. Disqualified is defined as the handler and/or dog being removed from all competition at the current year s Sand and Sage Dog Show. In the case where a handler is showing two dogs and one dog is disqualified, the handler may continue to show the remaining dog. However, Champion Dog Program dog designation cannot be switched to remaining dog if original designated dog has been disqualified.

Ribbon Reserve Champion... Ribbon DEPARTMENT 807 FLORICULTURE RULES: 1. Exhibitors may enter two (2) entries per class. 2. This department is open to junior and adult exhibitors. Professional florist entries will NOT be accepted. 3. Exhibit specimens in containers or simple vases that are clear or white and of appropriate size for the exhibit. 4. Superintendents will not be responsible for any container. A name can be placed on bottom of container and exhibitor must pick them up Saturday before the rodeo or they will be discarded. 5. Specimens must be grown by the exhibitor. House and indoor plants must be owned three months by the exhibitor. 6. Exhibitors may pick up entry tags at the Extension Office the week before fair. This saves time on entry morning and you can label your classes of flowers ahead of time if you have a lot of entries. Page 73

74 TIPS: 1. Vases or containers should be very clean. All leaves, thorns, etc. should be removed below the water line. Some good foliage may be left above. 2. Cut flowers early in the morning for best results, using a sharp instrument and placing stems in warm water, then let stand in cool place two (2) hours before arranging if possible. Then, re-cut stems. 3. Be sure your entries are in the right CLASS. 4. When three stems are required, they should be uniform in length and size. The color need NOT be the same. 5. Roses prefer to be cut in late afternoon when sugar content is high. 6. Remove old blossoms. Gladiolas should be an open blossom; opening, and some bud is permissible if all on one stem. 7. Remove bugs with a q-tip dipped in alcohol. This will not harm the flower. 8. Use embroidery scissors to trim leaves with brown tips. 9. Use water-color brush to clean flowers and foliage for showing. 10. Use soft, dry cloth to rub away water stains. 11. A preservative can be used. Flowers with gummy, milky stems should be flamed immediately after cutting. Woody stems should be split to better absorb water. Never place any flowers in a draft.
